AUSTRIC LANGUAGES. Conformities in vocabulary, phonetics, word-formation (prefixing, infixing), in the (post-) position of the genitive in the inclusive and exclusive forms of the pronoun, and others, demonstrate the genetic relation of the Austronesian to the Austroasiatic Languages. By omitting the differentia specific to the two main divisions Schmidt termed them the "Austric Languages." They stretch from the Western Hima layas to Easter Island in the Pacific. A. Conrady would relate this widespread family of languages to the Indo-Chinese family and he adduces interesting evidence in support of his contention.
